Pool eligibility
College Football Survivor is a Pools product and all participants must be 18 or older.
Frozen Top 25
When a Survivor contest starts, the platform captures the current AP Top 25. Those teams remain the eligible pool for that entire contest.
Ranking changes
A team that later drops from the rankings remains eligible. A newly ranked team is not added to an already-running contest.
Weekly pick
Each entrant selects one eligible team in one specific game per scoring week. The selected team must win.
Team reuse
Each team may be used only once by that entrant during the contest.
Locks and elimination
The pick locks at scheduled kickoff. A loss or no valid pick eliminates the entrant. One life; no buybacks or re-entry.
If everyone loses
Default order: smallest losing margin survives, then highest prior cumulative Survivor margin if tracked, then league vote, then Commissioner decision if tied.
Postponed or canceled games
A game postponed before kickoff may reopen the pick where supported. A game with no official result is void and follows the published correction policy.
